Full description
Set in an idyllic location, this exceptional half-timbered residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. Originally dating back to the 1600s, the property began life as three individual cottages before being thoughtfully converted into a single, characterful home in 1976. Nestled within a generous plot of over an acre, the home exudes period charm with a wealth of original features that have been carefully preserved. These include authentic wattle and daub infill panels, exposed timber beams, and original doors. The sandstone window ledges bear the gentle curves of centuries of use, where knives were once sharpened, adding a truly unique touch. The heart of the home is the sitting room, where a magnificent inglenook-style fireplace houses an original bread oven.
